“She was mortified to learn that I use cream that is as much as a week beyond the “due date”. If it’s kept well-chilled and never left out, it’s fine.”
My kind of man.
Before I got married, if lunchmeat felt slimy, I’d rinse it off...
There’s no need to rinse slick meat unless it’s starting to grow mold. LOL
“Before I got married, if lunchmeat felt slimy, I’d rinse it off...”
I still wash mold off of blocks of cheese and eat it. Drives my wife and son nuts. I’m still here.
Here’s a good laugh for you...
I just looked at the table next to my desk where I keep my vitamins and supplements.
I have there a bottle of Braggs’ raw, unpasteurized cider vinegar “with the Mother.”
You guessed it - it has a “freshness date” on it!
I have to hurry up because according to this I only have till May of 2022.
I guess after that date, it (along with the sour cream) will “go good.”
I want to comment but am so horrified that I can’t think of anything to say except that I feel your wife’s pain.
My husband’s food safety practices were appalling. Thankfully he changed...in my presence, anyway.
Let me guess: Now that you're married, you find that the slime actually tastes pretty good.
LOL I'm married and still do the same thing. My wife got used to it to the point I'm the official leftover sniffer.
She figures if I can't stomach it, it must really be off.
Me too but Id usually fry it then. Not just to kill any cooties but to re-add flavor to replace any that got washed off.
